SID: Okay, Warren, you said that as the Holy Spirit taught you the keys… Tell us some of the important keys for revelation of this particular passage.

WARREN: Well, number one, we always must remember that this is the only prayer in the entire Bible that God himself wrote. Number two, that the Hebrew has a far deeper meaning. And when the Hebrew is pronounced over, that’s really when I sense the impartation that comes upon people because the fullness of meaning is revealed in the Hebrew. And the last point I would like to stress here… There’s many more. Is the fact that a high priest, the Jewish high priest must pronounce it over you. We have a High Priest, his name is Yeshua, Jesus. He’s there 24 hours a day, seven days a week in the glory. And the fact of the matter is—

SID: You mean all those blessings occurred with a once-a-year thing by a human high priest? How much more by having the Messiah of Israel, proclaim that over you? When we come back, would you pray that prayer with the understanding from the ancient Hebrew script, as to what it really means? And then I want it sung over the people. There’s something about singing it and then I want it sung over you in Hebrew, when we come back.

SID: I commission Warren Marcus, right now, to pray with understanding, this ancient, oldest fragment known to man from the holy scriptures, the only prayer prayed by God, the father himself, that resulted in those spectacular blessings over you, and something supernatural is ready to happen.

WARREN: It says in our English Bibles, the Lord bless you, but in the ancient paleo Hebrew, here’s what it really implies. May your heavenly father, he who exists, kneel in front of you. The word Barak means to kneel. He kneels in front of you making himself available, with his arms extended like a father kneeling before his child, in order to minister and bestow comfort and gifts and promises. The word, and keep you, may your heavenly father, he, who exists, guard you with a hedge of thorny protection. This is his arms going around you in a divine embrace that will prevent Satan and all your enemies from harming your body, soul, mind, and spirit. What do you need? Deliverance? What do you need? Healing? It comes because you’re in his presence. The Lord make his face to shine upon you. Your heavenly father, may he illuminate the wholeness of his being towards you, continually bringing you to order so that you will fulfill your God-given destiny and purpose. And in our English Bible, it says, and be gracious to you.

WARREN: I love this because this is the father looking into your eyes. His smile of pleasure. This is where he’s saying, I love you, my daughter, I love you, my son. I am well pleased in you. This is my favorite one. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you. The word in Hebrew is Nasa. It means to lift up and carry you. So this is the heavenly father. He’s lifting you up like a child, like a little son or daughter, and he’s carrying you in his arms, supporting you with his divine embrace and his entire being. But now, this is what you get out of that relationship, this is what he leaves you with, and give you peace. What it means, Shalom in the Hebrew is much more than the absence of war. Okay? It’s, may God, your heavenly father, set in place all you need to be whole and complete, so you can walk in victory moment by moment by the power of the Holy Spirit.

SID: It’s two weeks later, your sister takes you to church. What happened?

ROB: Oh my goodness. My sister Ernestine, she says these words. Precious, will you do me a favor? But then she asked me the unthinkable. She said, Rob, will you go to church with me? When she said that? I was like, I already said yes. And in my mind I was a CEO, Christmas, Easter, Only. I didn’t need to go to church very often, because I was a good guy. I didn’t know I needed salvation. But in that very moment, when she invited me to church, I agreed. I show up Sunday morning. She walks me in. We sit down in these nice cushy little seats. And she says, these words. She says, precious, I’ll be right back. She put me in a seat, goes to the back and begins to pray that God would encounter me. That God would touch me. That God would transform me. I started to feel a shake in my body. I felt an overwhelming presence. And I got a little afraid. And I think I said to myself, something like this, I need to get the H E L L out of here.

ROB: I didn’t realize God was getting rid of it in me. And so, as I went to sit up, the presence of God overwhelmed me and a seatbelt came on me, and I bent over and immediately I began to weep. I began to cry uncontrollably. I cried out and I said, these words. Lord, if you’re real, save me. Right there, no one laid hands, no one ministered salvation to me, God himself came and delivered me. From that day forward, Sid, no one had to invite me to church. I just got up every Wednesday, every Sunday, with a thought, I’m going to the house of God. And my life was radically—

SID: What happened to that wonderful photography career?

ROB: Oh my God. That’s all I can say is, when I least expected it, I got invited to a service in Southern California. I lived in Northern California and I knew in my knower, something inside of me was saying, you need to get to the service. And there’s a pastor that’s speaking a message called, lay down your Isaac. And he began to announce to the church, today, we’re all going to sacrifice greatly. We’re going to lay down our Isaac. And he said, we’re going to do something completely different in today’s service. And he says, we’re going to take the gifts that you laid down, and we’re going to ask Bible trivia questions, and we’re going to give it to the one who’s able to answer the question. And we’re going to believe that this was God’s doing. And I was excited. I had a few dollars in my pocket and I was like, yes, Lord, I’ll give it all.

ROB: And the Lord spoke to me and he says, Rob, do you love me? And I said, Lord, with all my heart, what do you want? I’m thinking 25, $50. At that time, I’m young. I didn’t have very much money. And he said, I want your camera. And he said, will you give me your camera? And in that moment, the basket is going by. And I could feel the heart, that tug. I don’t know if you’ve ever had that tug, that inner fight with the Holy Spirit. I had that inner fight going on. And I just said, yes, Lord, I love you. And I took my pen and I began to write on the offering envelope and I threw it in. And then the Lord spoke to me a second time, right then and there, on the spot as the offering plate is going away. He says, do you love me? I said, Lord, I just gave you my prized possession. He says, do you love me? I said, all within me, Lord, everything in my heart. He says, today, will you sacrifice and give all your camera equipment away? And without hesitation, I said, yes.

SID: And then he wanders into a messianic Jewish synagogue by a friend, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. And he accepts the Messiah in that synagogue. And of course he’s given his first New Testament and he takes it home. And his Jewish mother promptly… How did your mother find that? Did you just put it in the living room?

JASON: No, no. Listen, I hid it in my bedroom, but moms have a special spiritual gift, how to find anything. You can’t hide anything from your mom.

SID: And then a week later… This is amazing. A week later, he sees his first miracle. You don’t start with a headache, do you? What happened?

JASON: No. I used to help homeless people in New York city. And I get a collect call from my friend, Jeff, who was in NYU Medical Center. He had been sleeping outside. He got gangrene. The doctors tell him we’re going to have to amputate your legs from the knees down. Could you imagine being in New York city with no legs, homeless on the street? It’s unimaginable. So I just read the book of Acts. So I go to the hospital and see him. I said, look, they healed people. They pray for them in the Bible. I remembered a passage in the book of Acts. I laid my hands on him. I said, silver and gold, have I none. What I have in the name of Yeshua, arise, take up your bed and walk.

SID: You took the word literally.

JASON: I took it literally. That’s what it said. That’s what Peter prayed…

SID: What happened to your friend?

JASON: He got healed. He got saved. And he walked out of the hospital a week later.

SID: Say, that’s normal. It’s too bad. People pick up… We Jews think we have a corner on the market. Christians have a corner on the market too. It covereth thee in the world. Tradition. You wrote a brand new book and you are bringing together Jews and Christians and the subject is, Aligning With God’s Appointed Times. Why did you write this book?

JASON: I believe it’s so important. It is about the biblical Jewish holidays. I think every believer in Yeshua needs to understand for a number of reasons. One is, the biblical holidays are prophetic. When you understand their significance, when you read this book, you’re going to tap in to the prophetic meaning and the prophetic power for your life. And it releases that in such a way that it is life-changing and transformative.

SID: Well I am amazed at the number of top Christian prophets that say to me, Sid, I don’t understand it. But at these feasts, I, it’s like a portal. A door opens to heaven like Jacob and the angels coming up and down the ladder. It happens on the feast. Why is that?

JASON: Yeah, because they’re called in the Bible, the moedim, the Lord’s appointed times. God has set these appointments, going back to the very beginning of creation. When he says he put the stars in the sky, the sun and moon for times, and for seasons it’s for the appointed times. These holidays are woven into the fabric of creation. They’re not just meant to be past remembrances. They’re meant to be reoccurrences and reactivations of these prophetic holidays in our life. And of course every Jewish holiday finds its fulfillment in Yeshua, Jesus. Every major event in his life happened on a biblical holiday. So of course, there’s going to be a significance. God wants to do the same in our life today.
